US Soccer Captain Protests During Anthem

[Tony Stark]

Youth soccer got a huge boost because soft suburban kids raised on MacDonalds were not tough enough to play real boys football, so they gravitated to soccer. The real athletes played football and basketball, the less talented or smaller play soccer. Everyone knows that's the way it is.

Maybe parents don't want their kids heads being cracked.

I think most Americans would agree that if you are playing on a national team, the least you could do is show proper respect for the flag and anthem of your country. It has nothing to do with protesting Trump or anything else. US Soccer, the coach and the rest of the team failed miserably in not enforcing appropriate behavior from her.

You're upset that they're not 13yo's that you can record on your TiVo

Soccer has the least amount of skill required of any major team sport. Baseball, Football, Tennis. Basketball, or Hockey

Hockey is soccer's and figure skating child

I'd wager you were a "soft" kid who didn't play soccer, and that you have negligible sports activities at this point in your life. Just a vibe you give off spouting shit about something you obviously know very little about.

Real boys stay from pansy football and pick up boxing

What an athlete!

Some are confusing athlete with running ability, running ability is soccer's main attribute. It is not much of an athletic skill.

Soccer's biggest skill is when someone comes into your area and you immediately drop to the ground writhing in pain.

Soccer is just running just like baseball is just scratching your balls and spitting out sunflower seeds.

I never claimed to have played soccer. Why would I? I was a good athlete and played actual sports that people cared about.
